IN PHOTOS: How Mumbai gears up for festival of lights

As the city that never sleeps prepares to usher in the festival of lights, Nadisha Daniel captures the celebratory mood on camera.

Amid the bustle of Mumbai, the City Light market in central Mumbai is always overflowing with stalls selling various types of lanterns, diyas, stickers of swastikas and foot-prints of Goddess Lakshmi, rangoli powder and stencils for rangoli designs among other knickknacks.

Seen here are vibrant lanterns hanging by the side of the road for passersby to admire and buy.
